CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
Condenser
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on
adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet.
Spiders and insects can nest in and around the refrigerated beverage center causing damage to the unit. Frequently
brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser coils for efficient performance by unscrewing the grill on the bottom
front of cabinet.
Cabinet
The cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring
powders.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted
detergent.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. Use a liquid cleaner designed for stainless steel
when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. Do not permit citrus
or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel.
Brass Parts
CAUTION: All brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE
BRASS PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When hot soapy water will not do the job,
use every day non-abrasive household cleaners.
